Life in general, fiber arts in particular, near Twisp in the beautiful Methow Valley

January Chinook

A few days ago we had one day of unseasonably warm weather – meaning temperatures in the 50’s that day, with a wind. This set up the perfect conditions for our roofs to shed their snow loads. All day long there would be sudden loud shuddering swooshing sounds and another huge load would slide off the roof. It scared the heck out of the cats! They would just settle into a nice nap and then all of a sudden it sounded like a freight train was running through the house.

At Knit Night on Thursday, some of the women in my Beaded Cuff class had finished their cuffs (or rather, the first of a pair). They turned out great!

Should have used the flash for that one – I usually get better color without it.
